OK Folks, I have decided on what i feel is the only fair way to send out the initial 15 clusters i will have available in about 2 weeks. In the next week while i await shipment from China i will be going through the posts here and PM-ing the 1st 15 people who had expressed interest in owning one. I actually have 20 coming in but I am keeping 3 for myself and CSC as well as RPS are each getting one for review.
Just as a reminder, This cluster will have an Analog Tach, Digital Speedometer, L&R Turn & Hi-Beam indicator, Neutral light, all gears shown as you shift, A fuel gauge, A low fuel light, Kilometers and MPH, an odometer and a trip odometer which also read in KPH & MPH just by clicking the button. A wired wheel sending unit will replace the speedometer cable & drive unit. My test unit is + - 1/2 MPH to my GPS on my phone.
These will be totally plug and play other than 1 wire tap. I will be creating instructions as well as a video. All items needed to hook up the cluster will be included, Mainly the cluster with harness, Wire Ties and wire tap for Tach wire & Wheel Sending unit. Spade connector for ignition tap, POS battery, Forked connector, Fuse holder & Extra Fuse will be included and pre-wired. Doing it this was has added cost but it will also make it where just about anyone can install it saving me a lot of e-mails and phone calls, Not that i don't want to talk to y'all but i also run a general contracting business and this is the $$$$$$$ time of year for me.
This has turned into a lot more work than i expected LOL. Gave me something to do while recovering from a TRIPLE Hernia surgery. After the 1st 15 clusters go out, I will start a new thread to have those folks post thoughts and ideas. If all looks good i will place a large order and have these in stock. Lead time is 2 weeks give or take from what they are telling me. The shipping out of Chongqing China is also going to be costly. About $7 a cluster as air is the only way i can find to ship reasonably unless i want to toss a box on a boat. Air is a LOT more convenient.
The final price i have come up with adding taking into account the additional costs for the wire loom , connectors, My time along with 100+ e-mails to the factory and air shipping from China is going to be $95 with a 6 month free replacement if defective & free priority shipping. The 1st 15 out will be getting a 15% discount for their feedback. If anyone is close they can pick them up at my shop for $85 and as i travel around through the year i will always keep some with me. I do Pay-Pal or would take a check in the mail as well. Silver in person at current market price will work too LOL! I know their are some of you out there! I realize this is a lot of money but it is still cheaper than the Trail Tech Vapor by over $100. take the Vapor @ $139.95 + the Indicator Light Dashboard for your signals, high beam Ect @ 54.95 & shipping and your over $200 Remember, Mine is a direct bolt on replacement. I was actually going to go Trail-Tech myself until i thought up this hair brained idea LOL! I could likely lower this by $4-5 a cluster but would have to order 1,000 pcs lol!
Also keep in mind, Your state MAY require you to fill out an odometer disclosure statement when you sell. My suggestion and what i did myself is after installing the new unit, Take a photo of the new unit on and the old unit next to it showing the miles. Then e-mail it to yourself for safe keeping. This way their will never be a question.
THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT!
